[Dark Classical Film score]

Not bad.

It seemed a little cluttered at times, but you made excellent use of the choir and orchestra. A tad repetitive, but that's not neccecarily bad. All in all, a fine effort, Arh.

[Zelda NES Title Theme]

Not bad.

This was very good. Your transcription wasn't entirely true to the 8-bit games, but it is your own. Which 8-bit plugin was this, out of interest?

[Temple of Time]

I liked this.

As again, the choirs were rather bland, and at times unclear, but that is something easily remedied. I liked it where that pad came in over the top. Out of interest, what software do you use?

[Twilight Princess Title Screen]

It was alright.

Not a bad try. The choirs sound very bland and artificial, and the theme is longer and more complicated than that. Even so, writing out any piece of music by ear is a difficult, time-consuming process and for that I commend you. A good effort.

Have a talk with people like MaestroRage and Bosa for improving the choirs and such.

[Domhail]

I love this.

This is brilliant. I love the use of the choir over the top. What software do you use?

Bosa responds:

I use Sibelius 5 to write the scores. Then, I use 3 VST's to play the music. I use Edirol HQ Orchestral, Garritan Personal Orchestra, and Halion Symphonic Orchestra. I also use various soundfonts for choirs and such.

Thanks for the review,
Bosa

[Flight of the Bumblebee]

Not bad!

I'm doing my own hash of this... this is something to aspire to.

[_-={The Tanks Thunder}=-_]

Damn it...

I swear you're on par with even Winterwind-NS here. If only I could do choirs like you...

MaestroRage responds:

I appreciate the compliment Beacon, to compare me and WinterWind is however somewhat difficult. Winter is a very romantic era advocate, whilst I just love teh epic beats :D!

He makes some very excellent music, so just the comparison brings a smile to my face.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it ^^.

[_-={The Spread of Chaos}=]

Holy...

...crap.

This...is...so...gottverdamned...good.

You just got yourself a fan.

Long live MaestroRage!

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you, thank you :). This piece in particular could use some equalizing, but I don't have the ability to open old projects. Something just snaps and breaks when I do.

I'm glad you liked the piece, thank you for the review ^^.

[_-={Arise Sleeper}=-_]

Wow...

I like V. much. Brilliant use of choir. What software do you use?

MaestroRage responds:

The choir sounds you are hearing here is called East West Symphonic Choirs. it's bloody brilliant. I would have to say Voices of the Apocalypse was also a brilliant one, but sadly it seems they have discontinued it... that really tore me apart since I had just gathered enough money to buy it.

Oh well, i'm glad you liked the piece Beacon ^^. Thank you for the review.

[_-={Dark Skies}=-_]

Goddammit..

...so damn good! This goes my iPod now!

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you Beacon, glad you liked it ^^. Thank you again for the review.
